The binaries and prompt for the video are available in the mcp-reversing-dataset repository.

Prerequisites

Python (3.11 or higher)
- Use idapyswitch to switch to the newest Python version
IDA Pro (8.3 or higher, 9 recommended), IDA Free is not supported
Supported MCP Client (pick one you like)
- Amazon Q Developer CLI
- Augment Code
- Claude
- Claude Code
- Cline
- Codex
- Copilot CLI
- Crush
- Cursor
- Gemini CLI
- Kilo Code
- Kiro
- LM Studio
- Opencode
- Qodo Gen
- Qwen Coder
- Roo Code
- Trae
- VS Code
- VS Code Insiders
- Warp
- Windsurf
- Zed
- Kimi Code
- Other MCP Clients: Run ida-pro-mcp --config to get the JSON config for your client.

Note: This requires having idalib activated globally and uv installed:

# windows
uv run "C:\Program Files\IDA Professional 9.3\idalib\python\py-activate-idalib.py"
# macos
uv run "/Applications/IDA Professional 9.3.app/Contents/MacOS/idalib/python/py-activate-idalib.py"
# linux
uv run "/path/to/idapro-9.3/idalib/python/py-activate-idalib.py"

Installation (Claude Code)

To install the latest IDA Pro MCP in Claude Code:

claude plugin marketplace add mrexodia/claude-marketplace
claude plugin uninstall ida-pro-mcp@mrexodia
claude plugin install ida-pro-mcp@mrexodia

Installation (Codex)

To install the latest IDA Pro MCP in Codex:

codex plugin marketplace add mrexodia/codex-marketplace
codex plugin remove ida-pro-mcp@mrexodia
codex plugin add ida-pro-mcp@mrexodia

Installation (Kimi Code)

To install the latest IDA Pro MCP in Kimi Code, run this slash command in the chat:

/plugins install https://github.com/mrexodia/ida-pro-mcp/tree/main
/reload

This installs the idalib MCP server and the idapython skill. Plugins are copied to $KIMI_CODE_HOME/plugins/managed/, so uv must be on your PATH. The first session after installing is slower, because uv resolves the dependencies before the server responds.

Installation (GUI)

Note: the MCP plugin is no longer recommended and will eventually be deprecated. Use idalib-mcp instead.

If you want to configure the MCP server manually from the IDA GUI:

pip uninstall ida-pro-mcp
pip install https://github.com/mrexodia/ida-pro-mcp/archive/refs/heads/main.zip

Configure the MCP servers and install the IDA Plugin:

ida-pro-mcp --install

Important: Make sure you completely restart IDA and your MCP client for the installation to take effect. Some clients (like Claude) run in the background and need to be quit from the tray icon.

Prompt Engineering

LLMs are prone to hallucinations and you need to be specific with your prompting. For reverse engineering the conversion between integers and bytes are especially problematic. Below is a minimal example prompt, feel free
